“I have also desisted employing the concept of ‘Rastafarianism’, a term I personally abhor which seems to be a source of confusion to outsiders and embarrassment to Rastas themselves. Almost every contemporary commentator on the movement has used this insensitive term without considering the discipline of doctrine and organisation it seems to connote. Even Garvey who did establish a rigorous ideological programme and formal organisation through which to articulate it was not keen on ‘isms’ (M. Garvey, 1967, Vol. 2, p. 334). Ras Tafari most certainly does not warrant the attachment of ‘ism’ to its name.”
Ellis Cashmore, Rastaman (Routledge Revivals): The Rastafarian Movement in England

“outshines little Elizabeth Taylor as Velvet. The child is completely natural and unaffected, with a very sweet expressive face and the most beautiful soft blue eyes I’ve seen on the screen in a long time” (quoted in Haggerty, 2011). Taylor remained contracted to MGM for the next”
